At the risk of sparking disagreement, I think the problem lies with the B17 saddle which, in my experience, generally doesn’t support a comfortable upright riding posture. It flares up in back which seems designed to accommodate a forward-leaning torso, not one that’s sitting more nearly vertical. It’s why so many of us have had to raise the noses of our B17s: to compensate for the fact that the back of the saddle slopes upward just at the point where the width of the saddle matches our sit bones. It’s also, I think, why so many of us complain of constantly sliding forward on our Brooks seats. I solved this problem by gradually dumping all my Brooks saddles and replacing them with Rivet Imogenes, which are flat, relatively wide, extremely well made, and beautiful, to boot.
